I debated on what to enter for my 2nd entry this Fall
This "Original Design" kept coming back.
I have to share.
It was inspired by the "Gum Paper Chains" my Sister used to make from her gum wrappers.
The 2nd version is just all mixed up. I call it "Gum Paper Jumble"
Same number of Blocks and borders.
I designed this quilt for a Spring Break Kids Camp class at the LQS.
When the sign-ups didn't happen I invited my 2 oldest Grand-daughters to come for a
"Grandma Camp".
Luckily they had the same week off this year.
They shopped my STASH, and selected their colors.
I did most of the longer cuts and let them practice with the short cuts.
They were new to Rotary Cutters!
Neither of them have sewn much so I had to work on the 1/4" seams with them a lot.
They were SEW happy to complete their 1st Blocks.
Here are their versions of Grandma's pattern.
They are happy that I encouraged them to enter them in the County Fair and Quilt Festival.
The quilts have Ribbons on them from the Festival Committee,
Girls with their Quilts hanging at the 150th Walla Walla Fair & Frontier Days.
Neon Trees got an "Honorable Mention" from our Judge
I am so pleased with how they did.
We'll do "Grandma Camp" again
I'm sure they will be cozy this Winter.
Unless they give them away.
